  • Traveler's checks (caveats)
    • Not as good of an exchange rate
    • Fee involved when purchasing and exchanging
    • Don't carry your receipts with you; rather, keep 'em with the copy of your passport in your room
  • Credit cards/debit cards widely accepted and offer the best exchange rate often w/o a fee
    • Though if you are eating with a group, be prepared to pay with cash in order to make things easier as some places will not split bills
  • Don't count/display money in public
  • Carry small amount of money in pocket for street-item purchases and the rest in your wallet
  • Don't take all of your money with you (use a room safe, etc.)
